50 Of The Weirdest Questions Shared On ‘Insane People Quora’
Interview
Most of you Pandas should already be familiar with Quora, an extremely popular website where people ask questions and other internet users answer them. To the best of their knowledge, of course. It’s a very social way of getting to the bottom of any queries you might have, as people can comment on answers as well. You end up getting a variety of opinions, some of which you definitely might not have expected to see the light of day.
However, it’s most often the case that the questions themselves are the most intriguing part. Some of them are so out there, so bizarre, they’re likely to stun you with their Twilight Zone aura, making you wonder what timeline you’re in. That’s where the r/InsanePeopleQuora subreddit comes in. It’s an online community that documents the weirdest posts on Quora and other question-based sites. We’ve collected some of their best featured posts to share with you as well, dear Pandas.
So go on, grab some popcorn, get comfy, and let’s go explore the weird Land of Quora. Don’t forget to upvote the pics that amused you the most. And if you’ve seen any super peculiar Quora questions previously, you can always share them in the comment section for all the other Pandas to see.
I reached out to the subreddit's moderator team and they were more than happy to talk about the community, its history, and why Quora is so popular. Scroll down for Bored Panda's full interview with them below.

Stupidity Is Contagious
Well Then
Mom Thinks Depression Isn't Real. Thankfully The Person Who Responded Is Sane
The ‘Insane People Quora’ subreddit has been active since June 2018, recently having celebrated its 3rd birthday. During that time, the community has grown to become over 291k members strong. Most redditors visit the group for their daily dose of fringe weirdness that reminds them (and us!) that fact can often be stranger than fiction.
The founder of r/InsanePeopleQuora told Bored Panda that the online group was founded once there was a rise in the number of Quora posts shared on r/insanepeoplefacebook, a "catch-all for social media insanity." There was a demand for a separate subreddit dedicated exclusively to Quora posts.

Uuummmm... What?
Umm... What? She Wants To Call The Cops On The Person Minding His Own Business In His Own House
"I saw a comment suggesting there should be a specific one for Quora as it's quite different to standard social media (having Q&As only) and decided to make it from there. Getting the first few thousand members took a while with crossposting Quora posts I found to r/insanepeoplefacebook. Some reached the front page of Reddit which is when the sub started seeing a large increase in numbers and became self-sustaining, meaning I didn't need to post as much to keep the sub going," the founder shared how the community started to grow.
According to r/InsanePeopleQuora's mod team, moderating the community is "fairly easy" for the most part. "The main issues we've faced is when we became the trending subreddit of the day we got a large number of unique views (~200k which is way more than the hundreds we would've been getting at the time) and new members within a few days (I think doubling or tripling our size at the time)," they explained.
Oof Ow My Privacy
I would recommend that girl to buy a menstrual cup (that leaves nothing in the bins) and see her mum freak out when "her daughter isnt getting her period'

As a mother of 3 girls, I find this extremely creepy. Just keep the sanitary product cupboard full and mind you're own business, yikes.
I would put weird food coloring colors on pads and tampons and put them in the trash.

Yes, you are allowed to have feelings, including feeling violated on your privacy.
Of course you are! That it is horrible behaviour for something so private!
I'm not a woman, but if I were and that was me, I would straight up hand her a used tampon saying, 'Don't forget to count today's one!'.
OP: you're allowed to feel how you feel, period. not just in this. but in this? your mum is an overbearing weasel....
My mom used to do that to me because my sister got pregnant when she was 16. When I was put on a medication that stopped my periods, she wouldn't believe me and I had to take a pregnancy test to shut her up. I had never even had a boyfriend at that point.
Nice mom. I kind of get it, but still not cool!

I guess she's tracking for pregnancy. My most sane guess

Yes, this weirdo you call mum is violating you and your privacy. Sooooo, have some fun with it. Get some blood from the meat market and 'get your period' for weeks on end. Then stop. When you really get your period from that point on, hide the used pads in off-site bins. You'll have her head spinning.
I would start trolling her. Get the most cheap pads and start dripping on them red, rose, yellow then green, blue and violet.
Don't throw your used pads in the bin, but bury them in the garden. It's worth the effort...
Very unpractical, as she'd have to dig a lot of holes in the garden. Also - littering. So I'll vote 'no' on this idea. Rather go get a menstrual cup

When I was in the 12th grade (and very mich still a virgin) I was dealing with a bad case of ulcer because things were s**t at home and I was dealt some psychosomatic s**t. So one of my teachers told my mom I'm throwing up constantly therefore I am pregnant. My mom woke me up at 5am to pee on the stick and so I did, took it and framed it and packed really nive as a gift and left it on my teacher's desk for her to open up in front of the class! She was livid! 🤣🤣🤣 of course I was taken to the principal's office where I was asked why I did that and everything turned into a screaming match where my teacher got berated for putting me through this s*it. She never attempted anything like this before but she did hold a grudge and tried to kick me out for the remainder of the year. Luckily for me I wasn't just first in my class but also class leader by choice of my classmates. High-school was fun...
You are being violated in that she tracks your period and you have been kept violated if you have to ask if it's ok to feel violated.
That's the point. The mother has no right to track it if the girl is feeling violated. She might have wanted to track it to make sure she wasn't pregnant(women don't get periods when pregnant), but either way it's pretty messed up and it shows how the mother would not trust her child if she really is checking to see if shes pregnant. It's good that you asked so you could understand. If you need anything else, let me know :)

Yes she is violating your privacy. Now that you are 18 you are legally allowed to tell her to go to hell and mind her own damned business.
Simple solution, just leave your used tampons or pads on the dining room table for her to inspect.
YES that's just wrong. Your mum needs to get her head out of her own ass. Try and find some other place to live even it's a flat share.
put your pads into used toilet rolls in a plastic bag it helps every girls privacy
Hell, if she was 12 she should feel violated. Mom needs a good talking to!
Tell her you're tracking it yourself, and get period tracking app for your phone.
Creepy af! It makes me sad that she asked if she was “allowed” to have her own feelings. That mom has really f’d up that poor girl.
Personally, I would buy several of those pregnancy test wands and Every now and then leave one in the Bathroom. Or walk into the room one day with a big pillow stuffed under your jumper and pretend to be in full labour. It sounds like your mum doesn't trust you and that she is trying to make sure you are not hiding a pregnancy from her.
The only logical reason for her to keep track is if she is also still menstruating's & is constantly running out of supplies because the daughter forgets to tell her when they are getting low.
i had a former *male* friend who would put an app on his phone to check when I was on my monthly so he knew when to avoid me, to avoid the Hulk drama. Some people are too nosy for their own good.
Well, it's weird. Teen pregnancy seems like the worst nightmare for parents . It's not great, but it usually turns out ok in the end. This parent sounds driven by fear.
Bag your used product and throw it away somewhere else, tell her to seek help and get the hell out of there as soon as you can.
Tracking as in "I bought some more tampons. Your period is due any day, right?" is fine. Tracking as in ransacking the garbage; NOT OK!
No offence, but your mother is a pervert & needs to get her head checked. 😳
I'd have saved her the time and just left them in more convenient places for her to find
Wtf?? YES it's mind blowing, just wondering why she is doing that in the first place. And it's disgusting and humiliating and violation on your privacy! It's sick!!!
That's kind of weird what is her excuse for this your an adult not her business what so ever ..
Technically not for two more months then get the heck out. If that's a reasonable solution.
If you want a laugh walk up to her and tell her your pregnant and she doesn't need to look any more, that should get her attention.
Is she trying to make sure you aren't pregnant, wanting to know when bf can breed you, or just in general wanting to make sure you aren't otherwise ill?
Stop throwing them where she can find them, for 3 or 4 months, then load the bin with a bunch every day for a couple of weeks
What’s wrong with her is she afraid you might get pregnant have a long chat with her.
You can have so much fun with this. Get some fake blood and leave so many pads in bins that she'll think you're having a perpetual period. Or just enough to make her think you're having it two or three times a month. In other words, do what kids are supposed to do to the parental units -- drive them nuts!
YES YOU DEFINITELY ARE! SHEESH, WHO TRACKS THEIR DAUGHTERS PERIOD?!
If you’ve asked her not to and she still does, then that’s definitely not okay. But if you didn’t ask her not to and are just expecting that she’ll know that you don’t like it, then no.
If she could, I'd say switch to a menstrual cup or period panties. Good luck tracking that! 😈
You feel how you feel. The question is about how reasonable this is and the answer is - not.
Must be checking to see if the daughter is pregnant. Gross. Alot of reasons for a missed period
yes times 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.9999
Here we talk about it freely. Mom tracks my period to see if she's having her own soon lol She was scared cause I had 3 periods and she had none (She's over 50)
A discussion may be helpful, but the girl has every right to feel violated. It doesn't matter if it's her mom. If she feels uncomfortable, violated is the specific term to use when someone is being nosy about your body. And she's almost 18. The mother should have no reason to be tracking her daughter's periods.

Classy S*icide
Politics is almost always a touchy subject. And political discussions on the subreddit are no exception. "The other posts which are difficult are those that bring up political issues. Most of the time this will result in people flinging personal attacks at each other, a large number of bans, and often a locked post. Otherwise, since the number of insane posts on Quora each day is fairly small we tend to only get a few posts a day on most days."
I was interested to get the subreddit founder's opinion about why Quora is such a popular platform. In their opinion, it has to do with the site's ability to adapt. "I think Quora is so popular due to its age and keeping up with the times. Age obviously helps as it takes time to build up a user base, but then you have to do something to maintain that base. For Quora, they've added several common social media features such as the ability to upvote questions, comment on questions (as opposed to answering them), and following people for their questions or answers," they pointed out exactly how the platform has changed with the times.
"I don't think there's anything specific that attracts weird questions, I think it's just because of the popularity of the site, with enough people on there you're always going to get some strange questions as well as trolls."

Quora itself was founded in 2009 by former Facebook employees Adam D’Angelo and Charlie Cheever and became public a year later, on June 21, 2010. Fast-forwarding to 2020, a whopping 300 million users visited it each month. With that kind of popularity, it’s no wonder that some Quora posts end up being weirder than weird.
There have been some large changes made to how Quora operates this year. On April 19, 2021, the site eliminated the requirement for users to use their real names. That means that users can use pseudonyms of their choice as of that date.

What’s more, in August, Quora announced that contributors can now monetize their content. A new subscription service called Quora+ was also launched, where subscribers can access all the content that anyone puts behind a paywall. For a small fee, of course.
The r/InsanePeopleQuora subreddit has a few rules for any up-and-coming members of the community. For instance, obviously, all the posts have to be screenshots from Quora, though other question-based sites also allowed. That includes certain subreddits dedicated mainly to questions.
Perfect Relationship Doesn't Exist
If you're DATING his mother, you aren't his step anything. And he's older than you so... chill.
Uh Yes It’s Immoral
Okay.. I Feel Bad For His Condition
What’s more, the subreddit’s moderators ask their members not to post any personal information. That means no links to the source material! The mods also frown upon reposts and posts that are obvious satire presented as serious questions (satire needs to be marked as such).
And there you have it. The next time you’re browsing Quora for some educational content, you should keep an eye out for any bizarre posts. We’re sure that the r/InsanePeopleQuora community would be more than happy if you share your finds with them.

If this thread was called 'best troll posts' it would make more sense. But I fear a fair number of these are actually real. Well, at least they're asking if their actions and convictions are right, that's gotta count for something, right? RIGHT?
I stopped reading after about 10 of these. Quora *used to be* a great place to ask insightful questions, and people who were particularly knowledgeable about that certain subject would answer them. Now, it's a free-for-all. Fake accounts, troll questions from pre-teens, and a backwards-ass monetizing scheme put out by the site itself.
The amount of people who ask if/how they can abuse their children is horrifying.
A lot of these must be for seeking attention or just trolling people. I refuse to believe people can be as stupid as it turns out from some of these questions.
Quora can be weird. I used to get emails from them with recommendations of really inappropriate questions. I blocked it obviously, but still. They gotta stop.
It would be funny if there were not so many abusive parents. Neutering should be compulsory for some people.
Why do trolls like to make up questions about deranged parents so much?
I used to read/post Quora. Very soon after they advertised pay for questions, the stupidity began. I'm out.
I can not believe anyone this stupid made it to adulthood, I think they are all fake.
These would be comical if you knew for sure they were trolls, but I think some of these are sadly true. It just shows the amount of ignorance that is in the world today.
It's disturbing how many of these ask how or if its ok to be abuseive to children.
Every time someone goes the Quora website, their IQ drops 10 points.

I hope most of these are satirical. Otherwise, I really worry about the state of our civilization.
I really hope these are just trolls but after the year + that we have had here in the us, I wouldn't be surprised if every one of them were true honest questions.
Troll questions asked by Anonymous. They are all fake, made by people trying to earn money on the QPP program. I'm so glad Quora ditched the anonymous feature. It's cut down on this BS quite a bit, but since people can use fake names now, it hasn't cut down enough.
I'm not saying they're all real, but anyone who says they're all 100% fake has never been subjected to a conservative Christian family, or worked in the service industry. I work in hotels, and the questions I get.... There seriously needs to be an "Adulting 101" class in high schools. The only problem is finding someone qualified to teach it.

I refuse to believe these are real questions - shouldn't this just have been filed under humour instead?
